Eye Does Hurt At Terse Verse
Chicago, Oct. 10—(U.P.)-Delegates to the 54th annual convention of the American Academy of Opthamology swung into action today determined to discredit the old one about:
"Men seldom make passes,
At girls who wear glasses."
"A vicious wisecrack," said the delegates. Too many girls take it seriously and fail to wear glasses.
Freedom Capsule May Hold Kansan
Sections from 100 American newspapers will be among the documents sealed into the Freedom Capsule to be embedded under a 100 foot flagpole in front of the Freedoms Foundation's new national headquarters at Valley Forge, Penn.
The University Daily Kansan, as well as all of the daily newspapers in the nation, was asked to send the Foundation several copies of its Oct. 5 issue. From these newspapers the 100 front or editorial pages to be encased in the capsule will be selected on a geographical basis.
The capsule will be sealed on Saturday, Oct. 22, and embedded in a huge concrete monolith.
It will also contain copies of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and other documents of American freedom.
Mock UN Conference Votes Atomic Energy Control
A set of instructions will be printed on the outside of the monolith, addressed to the residents of Valley Forge, Oct. 22, 2049 A.D.
The United Nations should establish an international commission for control of atomic energy, with original powers of investigation and control of all fissionable material.
This resolution was agreed up the fourth annual mock United Na cast their votes in favor of the resolution, 7 abstained from voting, and none cast a vote against the resolution.
This resolution was agreed upon Saturday by the delegates to the fourth annual mock United Nations conference. Twenty nations
The conference was for the most part dominated by bickering between the delegations from Russia and the United States. Russia was in the minority as the smaller nations agreed with the United States. These same smaller nations did agree to unite to form a bulwark between U. S. "exploitation" and U. S. R. "annexation." The Russian delegation walked out in an effort to impress the conference with its stand.
The following arguments were presented:

United States: The peace of the world depends on the control of all fissionable material. Uncontrolled they can destroy our civilization. The proposed commission would have the power to investigate all atomic stockpiles; to force nations to change manufacture of weapons to the production of more peaceful articles; and act as a communication center. Information on atomic energy would be pooled, each nation getting benefit of all developments. If Russia does not agree to the control, she will become a "radio-active, disintegrated has been."
No Housing Problems Confront These Students
Two student couples are without worries concerning the decontrolled rent situation or eviction-happy landlords.
Standing on the porch of their ranch style duplex are Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kaufman (left) and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Grimes (right). The house was built by two University students who wanted to solve their housing problem.
Russia: Capitalistic aggression
The idea was evolved in the spring of 1948 when all three couples were planning to be married. After discarding the ideas of renting apartments and of living in trailer houses, the three men, who had grown up together in Hiawatha, hit upon the idea of building a triplex during the summer. However, Grimes deciding to attend the summer session, and dropped out of the plan. Kaufman, who is majoring in architectural engineering, drew some tentative plans for a duplex. He and Gamper then selected lots and checked with the city building inspector. They ordered materials and began to dig the ditches and pour the concrete footings. Their work was hampered during June by heavy rains, but by the middle of
They are Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kaufman and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Grimes, who live in a duplex at 1933 Rhode Island. The duplex was built by Kaufman, an engineering junior, and Fred Gampper, a former graduate student. Grimes $ \textcircled{*} $ is a pharmacy senior.
The house is a ranch style white frame structure with three rooms and bath in each unit. Each kitchen-dinette has a corner booth upholstered in red to match the red table and cabinet tops. The couples decorated the bedrooms and living-rooms to suit their own tastes. Each half has an automatic gas furnace
August they had the foundation and sub-floor laid. The work on the house progressed very well until school began, when the students could work only part of the time.
Near the end of October the couples were able to move into the incomplete units. Kaufmans had been living in a neighbors basement, hastily converted from a playroom to an apartment when the couple was unable to find suitable living quarters at the beginning of school.
The cement porch and sidewalks were completed during the past summer. Kaufman and Grimes have worked on the lawn throughout the summer and have a good stand of grass and well-balanced shrubbery.
All the inside work on the house was completed by the beginning of the second semester. Gamper discontinued his school work, and Mr. and Mrs. Grimes moved into the Gampper side of the duplex.
The students are proud of owning and having built their own home. The only help they had in the actual construction was in digging ditches and in the plumbing and wiring.
Polka Dots In Parade
Nightshirts and pajamas of every description—polka dot, striped, checked, and plaid—highlighted the block-long nightshirt parade Oct. 7.
Following the University band and the cheerleaders, Jay Janes, freshman women, Red Peppers, Frost Hawks, freshman men in pajamas, KuKu's, and the K-men marched down Oread drive and 12th street to South park for the traditional rally. This was the first appearance the Red Peppers, freshman women's pep organization, have made in their new uniforms of blue skirts, red sweaters, and freshman beanies.
Gathered around a bonfire att South park, the group listened to a speech by basketball coach F. C. Allen, gave yells, sang, and ended with the Rock Chalk chant.
Several hundred spectators watched as the group formed a line again and wound its way along the crowded sidewalks on Massachusetts street to Robinson park, where Jay Janes, KuKu's, and K-men served cider and doughnuts to all students in costume. Those in costume were given tickets to movies at the Varsity and Patee theaters. Later a free movie of football highlights of 1948 was shown at the Granada theater.
Lawrence merchants held their annual fall opening during and after the parade. The entire program was sponsored by the Lawrence chamber of commerce, the Jayhawker theater, and the Commonwealth theaters.
must never take control of the world. We must retain our veto, and minority rights in order to prevent it. Russia will use her atomic power to destroy only if the original discoverers use it first. We demand that the capitalistic press stop attacking Russia. We demand a quick decision on this atomic control matter. We allow the conference 24-hours in which to make its decision. If there is none by then, there will be action by the Russian army. (At this point the Russian delegation walked out.)
Yugoslavia: A compromise is in order. Let the United States agree to hold up production of atomic weapons, and U. S. S. R. agree to bow to atomic control.
Czechoslovakia; Russia is our friend. She influences and aids through principles, while the U. S. uses dollars.
The final word of the U. S. delegation was "Ours is a choice between the quick and the dead. It is impossible to compromise between life and death. Let our stand be for the quick rather than for the死."
